I have one favorite food. It’s slightly ridiculous, but sour cream potatoes are my absolute favorite! I could literally eat them for breakfast, lunch and dinner. In fact, growing up on my birthday my mom would make two pans because I loved them so much. I don’t even know what it is about them that turn my taste buds on but this will always be one of my favorite dishes.
